My mom and I used to prepare these Rice Krispie cookies for Christmas every year. Making them with just the microwave means they're super easy and fun to mix with the kids. —Savanna Chapdelaine, Orlando, Florida

Rice Krispie Cookies Tips

What else can you put in Rice Krispie cookies?

This is one of the best cookie recipes when it comes to customizing your ingredients. Don’t like peanuts? Swap in other nuts, such as walnuts, pistachios or cashews. You can even use candies instead, like M&M’s. Not a fan of white chocolate? Substitute regular chocolate chips instead. Get creative!

What other kinds of cereal can you use instead of Rice Krispies?

Using breakfast cereal as an ingredient in recipes can give you lots of unique flavors and textures. If you don’t have Rice Krispies, try using cornflakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or any kind of Chex cereal.

How long will Rice Krispie cookies last for?

Once you have Rice Krispie cookies in an airtight container, you can keep them at room temperature for about a week, or longer if your kitchen is on the cool side.
